In a riveting culmination at NXT Halloween Havoc Night One, Lyra Valkyria achieved a career-defining victory, snatching the coveted NXT Women's Championship from Becky Lynch. The atmosphere was electric, with fans witnessing Valkyria's raw emotion as she held her first WWE title aloft.
Valkyria's journey to this pinnacle was captured in an exclusive NXT digital interview, where she tried to articulate the profound depth of her feelings. "It's surreal. Words escape me," she began, her voice quivering with emotion.
"Standing there in the spotlight, time seemed to freeze. Every sacrifice, every hurdle over the past nine years, it all made sense in that moment. Holding this title, I felt validated—like every choice I've made brought me here.
I'd relive my life, every high and low, just to experience this rush of joy again. Most in our profession dream of feeling this once in their careers. I think I'll be riding this high for the next decade. Being your NXT Women’s Champion is an indescribable honor." Becky Lynch, the former champion, concluded an awe-inspiring tenure with NXT.
Over the years, she's become a cornerstone of WWE, achieving nearly every accolade. Last month marked another feather in her cap when she secured the NXT Women’s Championship. Fans watched in admiration as Lynch juggled roles on Raw and NXT, infusing new life into the women's divisions of both brands.
Her open challenges became a platform for emerging female Superstars to showcase their prowess.

This piece of news, laden with emotion, rivalry, and the spirit of sportsmanship, showcases the heart of WWE and the passion of its Superstars.
